New Superhero TV Series VIGILANT Being Developed By Howard Gordon And Max Landis
Forget Powers, there's another superhero police drama heading to the small screen! Being developed by Howard Gordon (Homeland) with a script from Max Landis (Chronicle), you can find all the details on the intriguing sounding Vigilant after the jump.
The Hollywood Reporter reveals that producer Howard Gordon (24) is teaming up with Chronicle screenwriter Max Landis for a new television series at Fox called Vigilant. According to the site, it will be, "a 'superhero' origin story told through the unlikely point of view of a smart 20-year-old woman who happens to be a social outcast. After an honorable veteran detective is brutally coerced into working for the corrupt head of Internal Affairs, the detective's daughter plans her revenge by creating a fictional vigilante persona to take on the criminal elements within the police department and the city." As well as penning the script, Landis actually conceived the idea and it certainly won't hurt its chances of success by having Homeland's Howard Gordon serving as executive producer.
